So,

the one time I'm driving sensibly, I wasn't speeding, I wasn't doing anything I shouldn't be, a bell end in a 11 plate E92 BMW pulls out on me leaving me with this....





I'm genuinely gutted! I just hope it an be revived!

Mechanically it's sound, I just hope it's only panel damage an the chassis legs aren't damaged.

Check tcas and chassis legs. Id be surprised if it was just panel damage.   Bummer tho

Lewis

The chassis leg is bent unfortunately :(

PeteG40,

I bought it from a guy in Barnsley and he said you serviced the charger on it (H757 WNP)
What sort of condition is it in?

Shes repairable :) weve repaired much worse at work!
You can always re shell it? :) all is not lost
sucks though

PeteG40

I also did cambelt plugs new rocker gasket too.  Charger I think seemed good stage4 iirc

Bummer man. You baught it off of someone called chris then? Paintwork was lovely aswell :(

hayesey

Gutted for you mate, looks like a clean g. Hopefully it can be fixed. Check for cracks at the bulkhead end of the chassis legs.

invest in a stage 2 subframe and bolt it up too the chassis legs, you can see if theyve moved then

My G40 didn't end up going to the scrapyard yesterday as I went away. I have all the bits you need to fix this (In Red).

Already got a stage 2

Do you think having a stage 2 may have saved the chassis legs? or helped them not crumple so much?

When mine was crashed last year the car bent around the frame damaging the A pillar. If theres no damage as far back as that it can probably be jigged. Proper bogus though chief.  Don't let insurance company take the piss!
